After something of a stylistic re-alignment in 2010, Polish production duo Catz
& Dogz decided to start an imprint to back up their new sonic wares. The name
was Pets Recordings, the output was immediately refreshing, charming and
arresting and the mission from the start was 'to promote music that we love,
regardless of whether it will sell or not: we don't want to be just another
dance label' state the duo with their usual candour.
And it certainty is not just another dance label, with a very tight identity
encapsulating sharp art work, both vinyl and digital releases, a Petcast
podcast series, label parties at connoisseur places like Watergate, Berlin and
a number of great looking videos. But at the heart of all this, of course, is
the music.
Pets Recordings have so far develop close relationships (something important to
the duo behind the label) with the likes of Pol_On, Martin Dawson, Maceo Plex,
Chmara Winter and more, releasing a number of EPs and a three part compilation
showcasing a bass heavy brand of sometimes colourful; sometimes deep house
music that works wonders on the dancefloor.
'To work with friends is so important to us' say the pair. 'Most of the
releases on the label are made by people weÆve met already. WhatÆs more, once
weÆve released something from someone once, we like to work with them again for
another EP, remix or party appearance.'
The coming months will see more label showcases at Watergate, plenty more
Petcasts from close friends - allowing them to play the sort of music they
might not normally in the club environment û as well as 10 more label parties
in clubs around Poland, Europe and the US in order to champion the next
generation of production talent.
So too will there be an EP from Pol_On, one from an Unknown Artist with Coat of
Arms remix, materiel from Martin Dawson and Glimpse and also a very special
release from a Dane called Uffe backed with a remix from the Catz & Dogz boys
themselves.
Motivated by the great public, press and private DJ reactions received for the
labelÆs output so far, Pets Recordings is only just beginning. With the labels
first full length albums also due to land sometime in 2012, youÆd better watch
out.
